This is my first time speaking with a therapist and now I actually look forward to my sessions each week. It's nice to speak with someone who not only wants to listen but understands and offers support. Cynthia is a great listener and remembers all the little details of our sessions. She's knowledgeable in the area of support I require and I feel she really understands what i've been through and gives great advice on what I can do to make positive steps forward. She gives me hope that things can and will get better!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
